My particular favorites are the Hugless Douglas books - (I will be reviewing Don't Worry Douglas very shortly!) So as you can imagine when David very kindly sent me this painting my eye's nearly popped out of my puggy little head with joy.
Well much joy and merriment ensued as today David sent me something that made my heart skip a beat - a very top secret indeed sneak peek at some work in progress from book three in the Hugless Douglas series - Here is a bit from David about these pictures ...
"As promised here is a sneak preview of artwork for DOUGLAS AND THE BIG
SLEEP. This shows a "before, during and after"
Briefly, the story opens with Douglas being invited to Rabbit's house
for a sleepover. He packs and dashes off but n his hurry to get there
he soon gets lost in the woods, climbs a tree for a better look, slips
and lands in a bush...THE bush, inhabited by the sheep...and that's
when the story really begins..."

| FINISHED! ...Perfection |
I can't wait to see the finished book - I hope you agree this looks like a blinkin' bloomin' corker!
Three cheers and three sheep for David Melling - We slaute you!
That's a lovely piece of work that is! How lucky you are to get such a sneaky peek : )
